Emil Berg

Emil Berg is a Björnsk singer-songwriter from Söderyio, Vårgi. He was the first musical artist to represent Björnska at the Maia Song Contest 1, and participated with his song "Du swipa höger" which finished in fourth place overall. Asked about his participation in the contest, Berg responded "I am absolutely thrilled to be taking part in an event on this scale. This will be the biggest stage I have performed on yet, and I hope to deliver a performance that will make my country proud."

On 21 February 2017, it was announced that he would return to the eighth edition of Björnskfestivalen with the Swedish-language song "Borde kanske dra", emerging immediately as a frontrunner in betting odds.
